Join Liverpool Welsh Choral as they celebrate 125 years of the choir’s contribution to music in the city. This special anniversary concert features William Walton’s spectacular ‘Coronation Te Deum’, Constant Lambert’s jazzy and colourful Rio Grande, and an eclectic mix of great music by Karl Jenkins and Gerald Finzi.

The concert also includes a new work by Keith Orrell, specifically commissioned for this occasion, linked to the theme of rivers, concluding with a resplendent Liverpudlian vision of the River Mersey. All this, plus a full orchestra (Celtic Sinfonia), international pianist Martin Roscoe, Liverpool-born opera superstar Kathryn Rudge and top organist Stephen Hargreaves.

Liverpool Welsh Choral was founded in 1900 as the Liverpool Welsh Choral Union, following an Eisteddfod held in Liverpool. Nowadays, they sing in beautiful venues such as the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool, in the Liverpool cathedrals and other large church venues and concert halls. The Welsh part of their repertoire is mainly learned phonetically; it sounds beautiful and awe-inspiring when sung chorally and audience members on Saturday evening will be able to attest to.
